"For the first time in my life, I'm going to be looking for people to run into, Snell told Jets halfback Emerson Boozer, who went on to deliver key blocks in the game. I'm going to be looking to punish people."
"Snell did both without flinching, touching the ball a career-high 34 times in a single game. He was a key pass protector for Namath, whose bad knees limited his mobility."
